What Are the Benefits of Cranberry Juice?

Drinking unsweetened cranberry juice has been found to prevent the growth of specific bacteria in the mouth that results in plaque forming on the teeth and gums as well. Along with good dental hygiene, cranberry juice contributes to oral health and may reduce the need for plaque removal procedures performed by dentists and dental hygienists. Sweetened cranberry juice is not recommended as the sugar in it promotes tooth decay.

Cranberry juice is a tasty, refreshing fruit drink, but many people don't realize that it is also quite healthy. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Healing Remedies describes many of the health benefits of cranberry juice and how it can be used as a preventative measure against many types of diseases, reducing the risks or alleviating symptoms. The best cranberry juice should be 100% juice with no preservatives, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. Quite often you will find that many brands of cranberry juice are in fact only 30% juice, and not all of it cranberry, with the remainder of the beverage made from sweeteners and water. While the taste may still be refreshingly adequate, you will not be receiving the full spectrum of health benefits and nutrients inherent in 100% pure cranberry juice.
